ID Software's land mark first-person shooter franchises, DOOM, Wolfenstein, and Quake, are often credited with creating the genre, but did they?
DOOM Eternal
In DOOM Eternal, the follow-up to the 2016 entry, players once again step into the Praetor suit and assume the role of the Doomslayer. After being trapped in hell and forced to battle his way back to Earth, the Doomslayer has returned to see that Hell has completely invaded it. Players will utilize new high-speed dashing, grappling, and other mobility mechanics as they rip and tear their way through the denizens of hell to take back the planet. DOOM Eternal's story was continued in a two-part expansion pack called The Ancient Gods.
